Neat. It is always good to put a human face on our history.

Very neat. Some of those paintings give the Renaissance artists a run for their money. Looked like a lot of people wore eyeliner back then too

I did notice that none of the portraits consisted of any obvious mosaics, and there are numerous examples that could have been included such as the so-called
“‘Mona Lisa’ of Galilee” and many lesser known ones like this one from Pompeiior this one from modern day Turkeyor even this medallion Always strive to keep an open mind – but not so open that your brains fall out!Still afeared of & dodging The PINTM

Wow. Thanks.
I'm glad that person in Turkey is still doing mosaics like that.

Oh. No prob.
Well, I'd still like to see a revival of those sorts of mosaics....the compass of existence held more than my text-books had revealed, more than I had ever dreamed of. In short I lost my superiority, and this, though I was not then aware of it, is the first step towards finding God.-A.J. Cronin
